‘FLIP FLOP’ is an explosive, sexy, absurdist performance where power and play are at odds. Six characters meet each other in the swimming pool, where they are trapped within its written and unwritten codes, and have to maneuver around the exposure of their bodies.
A mash-up of aqua jogging, techno and stripping.
To watch and to be watched. To show off and hide. To stretch, undress and – DIVE.

Alma van Woudenberg (1999) is an artist, performer, teacher and initiator based in Arnhem & Amsterdam. Making work always starts with a crush - on bubble plastic, extinct birds, swimming pools, moving boxes. Hand in hand with my lovers I create a new world, where I reflect on existing structures and systems. By wondering through the details I look for the intimate in the public where new stories evolve. I address topics such as feeling of being home, the housing crisis, alternative family structures, power dynamics and public spaces in a witty tone. You will find the result of the flirts into paintings, ceramics, sculptures, writings and performances.
